Shamanic Out-Of-Body Experience and the Computer..

Altered states of consciousness have various descriptors including trance, hallucination, or hypnotic state. Whatever the description there are certain identifiable traits or characteristics. As a shaman travels to another realm, he or she may experience any number of these characteristics. Chief among these are the following:

Different sense of time

Change in emotional expression

Dissolution of the boundaries between self and environment

Visual imagery

A sense of the ineffable.

Out-of-body experience

This last characteristic of an altered state of consciousness has made international news. Contemporary researchers claim they have developed virtual-reality avatars to simulate out-of-body experiences (Feb. 17, 2011. The Guardian, UK). The group successfully 'projected' people into digital avatars that could move around in a virtual environment. According to the group's report, the participants experienced the digital body as if it were their own. The study did not address the altered state of consciousness created through hypnosis to allow an out-of-body experience. Nor was there any indication of an emotional change in the participants.

The Telegraph (UK) (Feb. 18, 2011) reported "Out-of-body experiences are just the product of a confused mind and that scientists now claim they have dispelled this myth by artificially creating an out-of-body experience using computers and cameras."

Neurologist, Olaf Blanke of the Brain Mind Institute of Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne, Switzerland, reported the study at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Even though both reports are interesting, neither expose the fact that the participants were aware they were using a computer program, and this may have impacted the assigned results. There is room to raise significant questions about the claimed role of the senses, particularly those of sight and touch in creating an artificial illusional world.

The shaman while in an altered state of consciousness senses his movement from one plane to another. Persons going through an out-of-body experience sense personal physical movement. When it is a shamanic created altered state of consciousness, however, all the senses come into play.

Advances in 3D production techniques and the availability of 3D television do not create the same experience as a shamanic trance. In the 3D experience, the person is the observer and is affected visually, for example, ducking because it appears something has been thrown at him. In this experience as in the experiments carried on in the Blanke study, there is no operative control by the participant. The shaman, however, is in control and directs his involvement. There is one additional difference between the computerized experience and the shamanic experience. The shaman seeks answers to a question for help with a person who is suffering, whereas the other, entertains.

Could Terrorists Hide Among The Homeless?..

The defense of this country is only as strong as its weakest link. In most large cities there are many homeless people. How easy could that situation be exploited by terrorists? Homelessness, in most of the larger cities like in New York and Los Angeles, has become a way of life. No one seems to even notice the man sleeping under the bridge or in the cardboard box. No One Notices the person pushing the old battered shopping cart down the street.

If the Republicans get their way with the economics of the United States, it will in all likely hood create more homelessness. Cutting the safety net of the poor will only give terrorists easier access to the larger cities in this country. By having this third world like population of people in our country, we are creating a large security hazard in the largest population areas in our country. If terrorists ever decide to they can be in every city in this country, that does not do anything about homelessness. If I can think of this possibility, I'm sure so can others. It's just a matter of time before terrorists will do what I fear they will.

In New York the terrorist could be right now hiding in the subway or tunnels under the city planning their next attack. A man, who looks to be sleeping on a bench or in a cardboard box, could be getting information so that they can plan their next attack. That person, pushing that shopping cart, could be moving a bomb into place to later set off. To hide, among the invisible people, would be something that is easy to do. It has been done before, people who don't want to be noticed have done it. People who the police were looking for hiding in plain sight and it was never noticed.

What can you do about this possibility?

Make it so there are no homeless in the city where you live. You can do that by making sure the city where you live has programs that give shelter to the homeless and a place for them to live. Many of the homeless are without a home, because they suffer from mental illness. So good mental health care services are important to reducing homelessness. Drug use is another factor leading to homelessness, programs to reduce drug use will lower the rate of people without a home. The lower amount of homeless, the harder it would be for terrorists to hide by acting homeless.

Reincarnation Is Not for Everyone..

A Reincarnation Experience

Hovering over my last body, that of a man of around 45 years of age, the one thing on my mind was a job that had still to be done. Then in the spirit and with the Great Spirit of the Universe my next life was shown as a line stretched out ahead of me. It had ups and downs throughout the length of it and the age of 45 as a special time was marked out.

New Life Given

Standing then above my parents one month before my birth was impressed hard into my mind. The memory brought with me of these experiences has helped in the job that is now drawing to a close. It entailed understanding how the spiritual links work to protect the Children of the Spirit from harm and how it has brought them to the end times through unbelievable trauma, death on many occasions, and horrors.

The Day of the Lord

As matter can neither be created nor destroyed so the spiritual survive to go into different bodies and be reborn throughout what is described as the Day of the Lord. They have made enemies of religious dogma throughout this time and have many times been killed under horrible circumstances. Some burned alive, some tortured to death, and some taken by natural events along with the loss of children have all been part of their burden to bring them through to the end.

The Plan of God

These things have been laid out in prophecies that religious organizations have dismissed. Yet they spell out the plan of God. The blueprint for that is to make the Children of the Spirit worthy of their continuing existence and to make them better servants of the power they have within. So they, and they alone, reincarnate and continue on. The others who are not of God will all fade away.
